Screenings - Limestone, Dolomite

Screenings made from limestone and dolomite are finely crushed stone byproducts produced during the aggregate screening process. These materials consist of small, angular particles that result from crushing larger stones, ensuring a consistent texture and composition. The blend of limestone and dolomite offers excellent compaction properties and natural durability, making screenings a versatile choice for a variety of construction needs.

The fine particle size of screenings is ideal for creating a smooth, stable base layer beneath pavers, patios, and walkways. Their compactability helps prevent shifting and settling, while the mineral composition resists weathering and erosion. Screenings are also commonly used for pipe bedding, horse arenas, and as a filler for leveling surfaces. While their fine texture provides a solid foundation, it can limit drainage compared to coarser aggregates, so they are best suited for applications where water runoff is controlled. Overall, limestone and dolomite screenings are valued for their affordability, ease of installation, and reliable performance in both residential and commercial projects.
